Another Lily swiping...but this time the poster on her thread was ANS.
He says:
I read a book about depression where the author (an SBT therapist) says that your self-talk can keep you in depression. Act/think as-if things are all wrong, and you stay depressed. Act and force yourself to think as if things are OK, and you'll come out of your depression (of course, it usually takes meds, too, but you get the idea). **********************************************************
This is something I need to keep in mind. When my bad moods start coming on, and I begin to feel that black cloud creeping in, I need to pop in my mental tape that says, "Everything is ok. Everything is in fact getting better."
